Hi! I'm Louis. I'm always learning new things - it started back in elementary school when I wanted to know how games were made. That's when I began my long journey of discovery.

Some of my favorite topics include Game Development, Computer Science, Open Source, Robotics, Urban Design, Sustainability, and more. Listing everything would take up too much space!

When I'm not thinking too hard, you can find me reading fantasy books like The Stormlight Archive, playing video games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and watching anime like Mob Psycho.
